UPDATE – Green Lane Cemetery Burials

UPDATE : Our intrepid reporter, PJ, has been out with his camera again.

Now that winter is upon us and the flora and fauna had died back, its possible to see some tombstones at Green Lane cemetery.

If you have any other photos of the cemetery or tombstones there please do contact us.

Our thanks again to Peter!

A recent post by ‘PJ’ on our previous article found here, lead to us re-considering the information gathered on burials at Green Lane Jewish cemetery, Liverpool.

Green Lane is now completely overgrown as evidenced by a couple of photos sent in by PJ and has been for many years.

In one photo there is a tantalizing outline of a tombstone (circled in red), possibly a row of them, nestled deep in the undergrowth. Or perhaps its just a trick of the light.

Either way its highly unlikely that anyone will be able to enter and take photos of the tombstones any time soon.

The Burial records were destroyed in a fire many years ago, so it would seem there is no way to find out more.

However, In 1979 a survey was conducted listing all the names on the upright (legible) tombstones at Green Lane. There were approx 400, the total number was estimated at 700 interments.

We were sent a list of 394 names of individuals buried at Green Lane back in 2011 and this was one of most popular posts.

Our readers helped to fill out the information and supply dates or year of death for many of those listed.

As a result of the recent inquiry I searched the Jewish Chronicle archives to see if more could be found and have been able to 20 more individuals buried at Green Lane to our database taking the total to 426.

With several hundred more to find perhaps you know of others buried at Green Lane Cemetery Liverpool, and or if you have photos of the cemetery as it once was, please do contact us.

UPDATE – Green Lane Cemetery Burials — 10 Comments

Is this the cemetery used by Hope Place Syn? I think Henry Davis is b 1861, d 1870, child of Louis Davis and Annie Davis. I recall inscriptions were in the possession of J Wolfman, Liverpool in 1980’s. I have Henry’s inscription in notes somewhere.

A copy of the results from the 1979 survey is held by Liverpool Records Office and I looked at these a few years ago to see what the inscription on my great grandfather’s stone said. I also photographed the list and then typed it out so that it is searchable. From that I can tell you (if you didn’t already know!) that Henry Davis is in plot V13.

Hi,
Was looking at information regardin Leah Lipkin (nee Hesselberg), and saw the name Liprin. This is definately not the correct surname. Leah was my great grandmother, married to Robert Lipkin. Date of death was March 4th, 1916
Please update accordingly and acknowledge
Thanks
Kathryn

Hi Kathryn,
Thanks for your comments. However, as both spellings already appear in the table we do not feel a change is needed. The original list was provided to us, we understand it was taken from readings of the tombstones visible at the time it was created. Additional notes and entries have been added as detailed in the articles on this site.

Several members of my family may be buried in Green Lane that are not in your Green Lanes list and do not appear to be elsewhere in Liverpool Jewish cemeteries. They are my great aunt Leah Goldblat nee Servian, also known as Leah Max, died 1894 aged 26 in Mold, North Wales (daughter of Joseph and Ada Servian buried in Rice Lane); Leah’s husband’s previous wife Fanny Goldblat nee Unger, died in childbirth aged 17 in 1884 with her baby Rebecca; and my great grand aunt Hannah or Annie Silverman nee Sanders (Silverman name changed from Servian in 1879) who died in 1895. Would welcome any info on their last resting places.

Thanks for your message. You can contact me on xxxx. My home phone number is xxxxx. I live in Sutton, South London and I got to know your relation Esme Berman quite well in the last years of her life in Liverpool.

My great grandfather, the Rev (Abraham) Adolph Rutkowski, was minister at the Hope Place Synagogue, Hope Street, Liverpool, between 1885 and 1910. He is apparently buried in this cemetery together with is (second?) wife Rosa. he died in May 1910. He arrived in Liverpool from Konitz in Western Pomeranis in 1885. Information on him and his family is quite scanty.

My grandparents whose names were Simon or Shimone Hecht married my
Grandma Katie Claire Taylor daughter of Anne Taylor.
They got married in the early 1900s and had my mother
Golda Hecht who was born December 30, 1925. I want to know
If my grandparents got married in this Temple.
